Thumbnail Image Naming
A thumbnail image for each color channel (red and green) for tiles 1, 6, and 12 are generated from all
cameras, top and bottom surfaces, at every cycle during imaging. Thumbnail files are generated in the JPG
file format.
Each image is named with the tile number as indicated by the following naming convention, which always
begins with s_:
u Lane—1, 2, 3, or 4
u Tile—A 5-digit tile number, which indicates surface, swath, camera, and tile
u Channel—Red or green
Example: s_3_12512_green.jpg, which indicates lane 3, top surface, swath 2, camera 5, tile 12, and the
green channel.
